A WORD FROM THE DEPUTY PRINCIPAL

Welcome back to Term 3 and in doing so we have moved a step closer to

more normalities here at school, which included the return to Saturday morning sport and the ability to hold assemblies. Term 3 is shaping up to be a dynamic term with many events scheduled into the next eight weeks, including Retreats, Reflection Days, Liturgies, 2021 subject selections,

2021 Student Leadership nominations, excursions, Knockout sport, Gleeson

Day and more. Before we know it, Term 4 will be upon us!

As our students enthusiastically take up these opportunities here at Gleeson College, please be vigilant in checking communications from the College to

support our students.

It is fantastic that so many of our students have chosen to represent

the College in a range of sports teams both on Wednesday night and

Saturday morning. I wish to thank these students who proudly wear the Gleeson colours, and also the parents who support them on the

brisk mornings. It is awesome to see a number of our Old Scholars return to our Gleeson community this year,

coaching teams and offering expertise in their knowledge of sports. Keep

an eye on our sports page through SEQTA to see upcoming draws and

results.

As seen on the front page, we celebrated some of the outstanding work that students have achieved

in Semester 1 this year. It was wonderful to share in these moments

with students and to encourage all our students to strive for personal

excellence. Madeline Scherer (pictured top right) from the Graduating Class

of 2019 as Proxime Accessit, returned and offered some very timely advice to our students, which I wish to pass onto

our whole community at this time in particular these two points:

“…keep your options open. Choose subjects or courses that interest you

and that you enjoy.”

“Pursue your dreams and do what makes you happy, that way you will

stay motivated in your studies.”

These are such important points for all our students during this time. Over

the past two weeks, our students have started to be provided with

information about subject selections for 2021, which will be occurring over the next few weeks, in particular with our Senior School Subject Information

Evening occurring next Wednesday night (5 August). It is so important

for our students to select subjects for which they are passionate about and interested in. At Gleeson College, we

offer a wide variety of options for our students to undertake that can lead them down many different pathways

and open up many new doors.

We know as educators that we need to install in our students a passion to learn. For some of our students,

the jobs they end up doing may not even have a title or be invented

yet. Therefore, it is essential that our students are able to navigate a

landscape of learning through a range of skills that fosters them to be life-long learners who show humility as individuals and compassion to all in our community. As a community of

parents, students and educators, we will continue to support one another in our pursuit of individual excellence for

all in our community.

Adam Cibich,Deputy Principal 2020

2021 SUBJECT SELECTION EVENING + COURSE COUNSELLING

Term 3 is an important time for Senior School students as they embark on

their subject selections for 2021.

To ensure informed decisions are made, students will engage in a

number of activities and events over coming weeks. This has begun with

student information sessions and the completion of a subject selection

planning form using our 2021 Senior School Curriculum Handbook.

Click here to view > 2021 Senior School Curriculum Handbook

We look forward to meeting with students and families on our Subject Selection Evening next Wednesday

5 August in the Micah Centre. Families have been emailed with a code to book in for a 30-minute session. During this time you will

have the opportunity to speak with subject teachers, view examples of the

standard of student work expected and seek specific details about subject

pathways at and beyond school. Information related to further study at TAFE and University will be available,

with representatives from these institutions in attendance.

This procedure exists to provide students with a set of guidelines by which grievances may be resolved.

The aim of the procedure is to resolve issues confidentially and quickly, while

maintaining good pastoral relations between all parties. The Student

Grievance Procedure may also involve the Parent Communication Policy.

There are several stages in the process. The flow chart below illustrates the

correct procedures for both academic and pastoral grievances:

Students with questions about classroom teaching and learning

matters should initially address their concerns to the relevant subject

teacher. Any further communication deemed necessary should begin with the Learning Area Leader or College

Counsellors, as appropriate.

Students with questions about student wellbeing should initially address their concerns to the Care Group Teacher. Any further communication deemed

necessary should begin with the House Coordinator or College Counsellors, as

appropriate.

Students can address their grievance(s) directly with the College Counsellors

where appropriate.

If the grievance has not been/cannot be resolved as per the above steps,

then communication should be made

GLEESON COLLEGE STUDENT GRIEVANCE PROCEDURE

with the Assistant Principal (Student Development) for Well Being issues or the Assistant Principal (Teaching

and Learning) for Academic issues. Alternatively a request can be made

for an interview with the Deputy Principal, stating the reason for the request and an estimate of the time

required, so that an appointment may be made at the earliest mutually

convenient time.

STEM SOCIETY GOES 3D!

It’s been an exciting year for STEM Society students: stomp rockets,

Micro:bits, hands on build challenges and now 3D printing. Students have

laughed while learning, been amazed at their own creations and innovations whilst learning and collaborating with their peers. Every Friday STEM Society

students come together to create, invent and learn through interactive

projects aimed at developing resilience while learning with technology.

STEM Society students expanded their experience in being designers and inventors using 3D printing, and TinkerCAD, a computer-aided design

software. Guided by Mr Ranieri, students were briefed on the history of 3D printing, its application in society and how the technology encourages

students to be makers who create and craft. Students engaged in a fun

challenge of creating their own phone holder. We were delighted to see their designs come to life. The 3D printing

process opened learning opportunities for the students. We saw original

thinking and creativity take over as students explored their imagination.

3D Printed Creations fromSTEM Society Students

Year 7 student Adam Urbaniak (FMWIL) created a functional phone holder.

After drawing a Multiview diagram on graph paper to include the dimensions

and basic shape, Adam used TinkerCAD to create a 3D model. He

was able to manipulate the view using his touchscreen to rotate the view and

check his design.

“I learnt about how to structure my design, so it would work properly. I decided not to go too complex and

just go simple with my design to make sure it would hold the phone. I enjoyed

it because I got to 3D print.”- Adam Urbaniak (7 FMWIL)

It was fantastic to see the students highly engaged and exploring the

engineering design process. There will be more technologies on offer during

Semester 2 along with unplugged hands on activities.

Term 3 is the season for Dance at Gleeson in Health and PE, and for

staff, one of our favourite units of work to teach! Our Year 7 cohort nervously gathered in the Dame Roma Mitchell

Centre (DRMC), after rumour had spread that classes would combine for

some folk dancing.

After warming up with a quick rendition of the Chicken Dance, our students were ready to take on the Heel Toe

Polka and Progressive Jive. Over the next few weeks student will continue to learn traditional folk dances, and also have the opportunity to explore

dances from around the globe.

YEAR 10 STUDENTS GET CREATIVE FOR EDMUND RICE CAMPS

During Term 2 the Year 10 Religious Education students were involved in creating a range of board and

card games to support children in need through the work of Edmund Rice Camps. Due to the impacts of Covid-19 the traditional week-long

camps were not able to be held by the staff and volunteers at Edmund Rice Camps; however, the children were

able to be part of the Camps at Home initiative.

As a part of the Camps at Home initiative a website was created to help minimise the impact of social isolation,

assist families with engaging their children, and provide an experience

of relationship and connection between volunteers and participants while physically distant. A take home care package was also created and delivered to support these children and their families. The board and

card games created by our Year 10 RE students formed part of these care packages and hopefully provided an opportunity for children and families to spend this time together, even in

isolation. The creation of these games was a fantastic way for our students

to engage with and support the community, particularly those in need. The creation of these games formed part of the student’s assessment and

allowed students to reflect upon the importance of volunteering and

charitable work within our community.

Thank you to Edmund Rice Camps

Executive Officer, Jessica Alikaris, for her support in liaising between Edmund Rice Camps and Gleeson College to make this opportunity

possible for our students.

Year 11 Food and Hospitality students practiced simple plate presentation in class yesterday, creatively constructing a delicious dish of chicken wrapped in prosciutto with roast potatoes, fried spinach and fried garlic over a sour cream

and chive smear! Check out the above amazing results from Charly Doman, Isobel Dowling and Jamie Muller!!

YEAR 10 VISUAL ART > Tonal Value with a 3D FinishAn essential part of Visual Arts at

any year level is practicing the skills of observational drawing and tonal application. The Year 10 Visual Art

Class started Semester 2 with a ‘Key Tonal Value’ assessment applying

these skills.

Students were required to find a mechanical or functional object that someone would use every day, and

draw this object in different exploded views. Once drawn, they applied

tone to create a three-dimensional finish. Here are the wonderful results

produced!

Evelina Condo,Key Visual Art Teacher

YEAR 11 VISUAL ART > ‘A Box’Creative thinking. A way of looking

at problems or situations from a fresh perspective that suggests unorthodox solutions (which may look unsettling

at first). Creative thinking can be stimulated both by an unstructured

process such as brainstorming, and by a structured process such as lateral thinking. The Year 11 Visual

Art Class was introduced to a starter project to help them think creatively with practical ideas. The intention of this mini project was to challenge:

• the meaning of a box;• what the student’s concept of

a box was;• and what they know about this

everyday object and to give scope to change the obvious with their

own interpretations.

This project is in preparation for Stage 2 Visual Art - Art, and allows students an insight to having full control and

freedom creatively with their thoughts and ideas. The interpretations were

creative, thought provoking and challenged everyone.

Evelina Condo,Visual Arts Key Teacher

Student Reflections >“A clam holds natures beauty and the most beautiful things lie in Nature.”- Niamh Hughes > ‘Nature’s Box’“A clock holds time and with time comes aging. From the moment

we enter the world we are creating memories and moments we hold near and dear to ourselves. The buildings represent the destruction of society

over time.”- Riley Baradell > ‘Time Moving

Forward’“The cocoon is producing beautiful

butterflies, which illustrates the metaphor of beauty is rich (people

usually see rich things as beautiful e.g. High end clothing and acessories.”

- Isobel Dowling > ‘Money Metamorphosis’

“My Box is a camera (vintage Canon AE-1). It represents how a camera itself both physically or metaphorically hold

photographs, memories and time.”- Mikayla Sletten > ‘A Moment in

Time’

YEAR 12 ESSENTIAL ENGLISH > Investigation Visit to The GroveBoth Stage 2 Essential English Classes

visited The Grove Shopping Centre yesterday to investigate how different

stores use various language features to attract customers and make sales.

Students looked at shop fronts, in-store advertising, visual displays, and interacted with employees of the stores. The students were able

to become acutely aware of the small tricks of the trade that different

industries and businesses use to catch the eye of a potential customer and

encourage a purchase once you are in the store. Our practical investigation

will be supplemented by investigations of catalogues, websites, and social

media marketing associated with the various stores. The classes were also

able to contribute positively to our local economy by enjoying lunch in the food

court before returning to school.

SATURDAY MORNING SPORT > BOYS SOCCER REPORTS (ROUND 1)

On Saturday morning, the Year 7 GC boys kicked off their 2020 season

against Blackfriars Priory School. The GC team started strongly with a cracking

goal scored within the first 10 minutes of the game. The boys were thrilled to

have taken the lead, especially the goal scorer Anthony, as he had managed to weave through the opponent’s defence

line and scored the goal with a nice finish in the back of the net. After the GC boys scored, the opposition came out seeking an equaliser and played hard, and they eventually succeeded.

The GC boys kept their heads high and didn’t stop attacking, but unfortunately

were not able to score. When the referee blew the whistle for half time both teams went into the break with

one goal apiece.

After our coaches gave us their half time pep talks we were back at it and came out firing in the second half, but in saying that, so did our opponents

YEAR 7 BOYS REPORTSATURDAY 25 JULY 2020

who soon managed to score a goal, putting them in the lead. The score was

2-1 so the GC boys had to attack but their opponents would not let down and scored yet another goal. The GC boys

kept trying to attack but the ball just did not want to go in! Blackfriars then had an opportunity at the other end and scored again. The score was 4-1 and

there was not much time left but the GC boys didn’t give up and kept fighting.

In the final few moments of the game Blackfriars got a free kick just outside

the box and it was going to be the last kick of the game - they were successful in scoring. At the final whistle, the score

was 5-1 in favour of our opponents. Although the GC boys didn’t win their first game, they should all be proud of their continuous efforts and their

fighting spirit.

A big thank you to our Coaches, Peter Librino and Bailey Pannone who were a

great support for us all.

YEAR 8 BOYS REPORTSATURDAY 25 JULY 2020

The Year 8 Boys Soccer Team was excited to kick off the Saturday Morning campaign with a win against St Ignatius

College on Saturday.

The game kicked off at 8.15am with both teams looking to get a win on the board. Unfortunately for St Ignatius, it was Gleeson who scored the first goal of the game to get the contest up and running. This first goal spurred on the team and two more goals quickly flew

past the St Ignatius keeper.

Gleeson were playing some fantastic soccer, with a large focus of the game being based on keeping possession

of the ball. St Ignatius looked to have a good chance to score, however, we were able to counter attack superbly,

putting some fantastic passes together to score a really good team goal. Before we knew it, the score was 6-0 our way, but we conceded a late penalty to go

...Continued next page

SATURDAY MORNING SPORT > BOYS SOCCER REPORTS (ROUND 1)

into half time with the score at 6-1. The message was clear at half time for the

team to use the width of the field more and move the ball quicker. The team

responded really well and finished the game 13-1 victors, with multiple goal

scorers.

The team would like to thank Old Scholar Ricky Matias & current GC

Teacher Mr Carlo Librino for coaching the team, and we now look to take on

St Peter’s next round.

YEAR 9 BOYS REPORTSATURDAY 25 JULY 2020

As the team started to arrive at around 9.15am we knew it was going to be a good, fair, but tough contest considering we only had 10 players to start the game. However Lachlan

Wallace, our Coach and Gleeson Old Scholar, assisted by Peter Librino and Bailey Pannone (also former Gleeson

students), managed the team to an 8-1 win over Blackfriars.

The captain Cohen Cameron went up to take the coin toss, which he

won, and Gleeson would be taking the kick off. The game started, and

Gleeson took off on the front foot by maintaining possession of the ball,

which we manage to maintain for the whole game. We had lots of chances to score and finally we did - a goal

from Cameron Conant put us one goal ahead. Due to our lack of marking, we conceded a goal from a cross into the box. However, the team bounced back well and scored two goals before half

time. The goal scorers were Cohen Cameron and Christian Tropiano.

Our half time talk was about using the

width of the pitch more and keeping our shape. We reflected on how we were dominating in the midfield and how it was vital for our success. The message

was clear, and the boys responded well, and we scored a quick fire goal through Keegan Mitchell to start off the second

term. We were playing great soccer all around the pitch, and more and

more goals started to come our way. Debut youngster Andre Tropiano had

an opportunity to score his first goal for the Year 9s and he put it away with no doubts, a great individual achievement

for him.

We finished the game 8-1 victors and it was a great effort from everyone involved. The goal scorers for the

second half were, Sebastian Ratcliffe, Cameron Conant and Christian

Tropiano. A big mention to the three Years 7 players’ Kian Tait, along with

Andre and Sebastian Tropiano, who all did a superb job playing two years up!

GLEESON PEACE PROJECT > Contribute to our ‘Peace Tree’ in T1-2/3!On the 6th August, 75 years ago, the world’s first atomic bomb was dropped, on a Japanese city called Hiroshima, killing tens of thousands of people instantly. Three days later, this tragedy was repeated in Nagasaki. The resulting

injuries and radiation would go on to kill more than 100,000 people over the next few months, while survivors still to this day campaign for world peace. In recognition of this year’s 75th Anniversary of the Atomic Bombing of Hiroshima, the College will be putting together a ‘Peace Tree’ display to help spread this important message of peace, hope and

harmony. Room T1-2/3 will be open at lunchtimes on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday next week and there will be paper and cards to write a prayer, wish or note, and instructions and materials to make an origami peace dove or crane. There

will also be some resources about the bomb and peace museum on display.*We invite all students, staff and their families to contribute to our ‘Peace Tree’. Save the below image or simply

print off and add your message of peace, then return to the College via Reception! - Arigato, Dawson Sensei
